SUCCESS CHANGES PEOPLE

Most people want to be successful in life. Success can be defined in many ways and varies with each individual. According to me success is ‘achieving something you dream’.

Success changes people is almost agreeable as it plays a very important role in our lives though there can be exceptions. The change due to success can remain confined to a single individual or it can also be a collective change. Again, this could be a positive one or a negative one.

Let us focus on the positive aspects first. To be successful one should learn to work hard and not entirely depend you luck. So, success makes us hard working and not to be superstitious. It also gives you confidence, passion to drive yourself further in critical situations, boosts your self esteem, makes you a better decision maker which can make you a good leader and set an example for others to follow. In short, it completely changes your attitude towards life.

Like a coin has two faces, success too has a different aspect which is not positive. It may happen sometimes that people succeed without doing the hard work, and they start believing in luck only. This makes them complacent, over confident and lead them to downfall. We must remember that ‘Fortune favours the brave’ and you must be really daring to keep on trying hard even after failure. There is another famous saying ‘ Try and try and you will succeed ‘ but generally we tend to forget it.

For most people in this modern capitalism world, success is defined in terms of money. Money can buy you fame, power, etc. and to a certain extent does define success but not the only parameter. For example, a scientist considers himself as successful even if he is able to derive a simple formula which can prove his theory. So, changes like having money, power or fame cannot justify you as a successful person.

In my opinion success is all about happiness. If you are happy then every change within you is positive. Success brings you happiness of achieving something. It is worth being successful when you are happy. But sometimes it is not so. You tend to forget your personal lives and all the people who love you and care for you.

Therefore, work hard but never overwork because the success that you achieve is not worth if it hurts others and can’t bring you happiness.
